Charlotte County is looking for a volunteer to fill a vacancy on the Boca Grande Street & Drainage Advisory Committee.

The person selected will fill the unexpired term of Lyman Randall, a well-respected and active island resident, who had served as the committee's chair.

Applicants must own property and live within the area addressed by the district, which is on the Charlotte side of Gasparilla. The committee meets once or twice a year on an as-needed basis.

"When there is a problem, we meet, and when there are no problems, we don't meet," said committee member Tony Ackerman. "We make recommendations concerning the maintenance and conditions or roads and drainage to the county."

The five-person volunteer panel does not receive a stipend.

Interested property owners can submit a resume to the Board of County Commissioners, 18500 Murdock Circle, Room #536, Port Charlotte, FL 33948-1094, or via e-mail to bcc@charlottefl.com.
